I really love this app because of its LyricPlay new feature which lets you see lyrics synchronized with the song play, so you can easily learn it by heart.

Check out this video to see LyricPlay in action:

What it best does is the fact that it “listens” to a snippet of music and is able to recognize the song (through an online database) and offer links where you can preview or purchase the music in iTunes, once you “tagged” the song. It also searches YouTube to find the videos available for the song as well. It is nice that you can use social media to share tags with your friends and you can also take a picture to associate with a music tag.

I am sure it happened to you many times to hear a song and wonder “wow, who sings this?”. Just imagine you go out in the club and you hear a song you like so much, but you can’t tell the name of the song or artist. Shazam will do this for you and much more, just have to be creative and explore its core functions and features:

  • Discover and get music instantly
  • Unlimited tagging – Shazam everything
  • LyricPlay – fun way to see and learn the lyrics

You can also choose to upgrade this free version of Shazam to more powerful Shazam Encore automatically without losing your tags and data. There are two possibilities:

  • 1 year upgrade for $3.99 / €2.99 / £2.39
  • Lifetime upgrade for $5.99 / €4.99 / £3.49

Encore is a premium version for Shazam with interesting features such as Spotify.
